Rupert Protea - Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is produced in California with fruit sourced from vineyards selected for balance and varietal clarity. Hand harvesting and small‑lot vinification allow careful control of fermentations, with an emphasis on clean extraction and preservation of fruit integrity.

Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel or small open‑top tanks, depending on the varietal, with pump‑overs or punch‑downs managed to achieve structure without harshness. Aging takes place in a mix of French and American oak barrels, where time in wood refines texture and brings added complexity without masking the grape’s natural profile.

Each vintage reflects a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar work, yielding a wine that stands as a faithful expression of both varietal and region.

Rupert Protea

Rupert Protea is a brand of South African wine produced by Anthonij Rupert Wyne. The brand's name, "Protea," is a tribute to South Africa's national flower, symbolizing the country's biodiversity and the family's commitment to the land where the protea species flourishes.

The brand’s philosophy is centered on sustainability and value. Each bottle of Protea wine is made with an eye toward reducing environmental impact, from the unique, artist-designed patterns on the bottles that encourage reuse and recycling to the use of a specially designed cork that can be easily twisted and resealed.

The Protea range consists of everyday drinking wines that are known for their fresh, fruit-forward, and accessible style. The grapes are sourced from various top viticultural areas in the Western Cape region, and the wines are crafted to be true to their varietal character. The portfolio includes a variety of offerings such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and a popular rosé, all of which are designed to be enjoyed young and in a casual setting. The brand's focus on quality, sustainability, and affordability has made it a popular choice for consumers seeking a taste of South Africa.
